Hi, Samira! So sorry for the (ahem) year-long delay in response! We printed a limited-edition of our first book (photos and quotes, like an illustrated prayer book) a few years ago and so far haven’t designed another one since! it’s something we’d love to do, but it requires a lot of coordination. We will be letting people know about any future books on this site, though! Thank you so much for your comment.
